Midnight Suns | Blade’s Friendship Level

Welcome to NGB and our guide on Blade’s Friendship Level in Midnight Suns. In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, the Hunter will need powerful allies they can trust fighting alongside them in their quest to stop the evil Lilith.

To build friendship, the Hunter will need to answer dialog questions correctly and participate in hangout events with each hero. This guide will help you increase Blade’s friendship level, which will improve the overall team’s friendship level. We’ve color coded the below responses to the dialog options for Blade. Green is the recommended option as it gives you the highest increase to the friendship level. Yellow is an ok increase. Red will cause a negative impact on a hero’s friendship level. Please note that if a dialog option isn’t listed below, it means that the choice doesn’t matter and you can select whichever option you wish!
